Raymond Burr as Lee Quince Captain of Cavalry
Historically accurate portrayal. As if living a L'Amour western. Sound effects helps one to imagine the way it was. Short versions of a John Ford Western. Makes one want to listen rather than watch. It probably took alot of work to make this program. Many artist are familiar to the 'Boomer Generation".

Happily surprised by how well made this series was
First of all I'm not a Western fan but decided to give this a try because of Raymond Burr,Harry Bartell and other familiar voices, but I was hooked from the start and have just listened to the last,41st,episode ,truly a very well made series, recommended to all.

It's a great show...a great series...I just think others are better
Fort Laramie has excellent research, writing, and sound effects; it has excellent acting. It's as good as any show, not just any western, but for some reason I can't explain, I'm not a fan of the show and have never gotten into it. I like The Six Shooter, Frontier Gentleman, and most of Gunsmoke, much much more than Fort Laramie. I think Fort Laramie is considerably better than The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, Hopalong Cassidy, or other old time radio westerns. And,as I said, I have no idea why I'm not a fan of the show.
That said, if I was going to recommend an Gunsmoke as a serious and authentic western old-time-radio show, it would almost certainly be Fort Laramie on second thought. I would almost certainly, on first thought, say The Six Shooter or Frontier Gentleman but they're not nearly as authentic.

If you like Gunsmoke you should also like Fort Laramie
The quality of the acting and writing is top notch. This includes the "sound patterns." Finally, the sound quality is amazing. These recordings sound like they were made yesterday.

I love this show! I've perused a few different shows this past couple of months but Fort Laramie is by far my favorite.

Good show
An entertaining show, could have definitely had a few more seasons if radio wasn't slowly losing to TV.
Does anyone think that Lee Quince sounds exactly like Zap Brannigan from Futurama?

Fort Laramie
The programs were written very well and it is a shame that it never made it to TV in 1957 or even today!

Fort Laramie was not a bad little show do to work of the shows director Norman Mcdonnell, who wanted everything historically correct.
